Unit 8 Comments Or Lack There Of

 Oh man, finally getting to go on a 2 hour hike since being home made all the difference for me!  However drinking for my brothers 21st birthday did not help with trying not to procrastinate with my school work.  At least I am in better spirits!  Sitting in the half finished computer room at my half finished computer desk with my classical music has really helped to keep me focused and away from distracting people like my husband and mother!  So I guess my biggest issue throughout this writing class has been self discipline, distractions, and not having a set schedule for this whole term.  My sleep schedule has been extraordinarily messed up making it really difficult to get up for morning class, and hard to get up and get going for the day.  

When it comes to socializing I'm half and half.  Half of me is extremely shy and quiet and not many people see this side of me.  I'm mostly shy when it comes to meeting people for the first time, or being at a new job, place, environment.  The other half of me is loud, talkative, and rambunctious, the side most people see because I know them, they know me and I am comfortable enough in my settings to let loose.  When I chose online school it was because I wanted the detachment from people so that I could focus on school.  I have never wanted to go to an on campus college or university and be around tons of people.   I guess since I have been so focused with school that I haven't built any connections with other students.  For this class I tried to add all of the classmates for the blog assignment but I only had one person add my blog.  At times it can be frustrating to not have any comments but at the same time it is just a blog, not everyone is used to them and at least I get comments on the discussion board.  Besides it is only my 3rd term, as time goes by and the more there is to learn the more opportunities for educational and intellectual connections will be available. 

I definitely wouldn't want to get rid of my blog page because it is a part of my journey in my education and where I want to go with it.  Who knows maybe it will come in handy for the other classes I'll be taking and if not I can use it for a place for me to write since I don't use my other blog anymore.  My other blog is on Myspace and I haven't touched it in a year!  Before I used to blog all the time about anything that I found interesting, a big reason was because I was getting so tired of peoples' bulletins talking about how bored they were and the endless surveys of nonsense.  So I decided to start blogging about topics such as politics, oil companies, clean coal technology, even Captain Planet :).  I'm not sure yet what direction I'll be going with this blog but I am going to keep it.
